Ouroboros is a copper-scaled dragonborn with a long, elegant neck, polished horns swept back like a crown, and eyes the color of old amber. He dresses as a traveling performer would, in tailored leather armor under a layered stage coat stitched with subtle circular motifs, a nod to his chosen name. His lute is always near to hand, its body worn smooth by years of use, and a faint scar crosses one claw from some forgotten backstage mishap.

Patient, perceptive, and unsettlingly calm, Ouroboros prefers to listen more than he speaks. He enjoys irony, hidden motives, and elegant solutions, but dislikes zealotry and needless drama. In conversation he is courteous to a fault, yet he never entirely reveals his own thoughts, as though he is always keeping one verse back for later.

Ouroboros was hatched in a caravan of itinerant performers who treated every roadside camp as a stage. Too curious for the disciplined traditions of his clutch, he spent his youth listening to merchants, priests, and scholars between songs, collecting fragments of lore the way other dragonborn collected trophies. He learned early that a sharp observation and a well-timed lyric could calm a crowd faster than a threat, and that the people who smiled loudest were often the ones hiding the most. When he came of age, he chose not to pledge himself to clan conquest or temple certainty. Instead, he took the name Ouroboros, a private joke and a private philosophy, the world devours itself, renews itself, and keeps singing anyway. As a bard, he travels from market to military camp to noble hall, trading music for stories and stories for food, coin, and access to places most drifters never see. He is equally comfortable improvising a bawdy tavern chorus, reciting a recovered epic, or entertaining a somber funeral with a song that leaves no eye dry. Though he rarely takes sides, he is endlessly attentive to patterns, rumors, and contradictions, making him useful to those who value information and unsettling to those who prefer secrets. He has not chosen a great cause, only a habit of watching the turning of the world and trying to leave each place a little better tuned than he found it.
